Google Tank Girl. The punk rock + post-apocalyptic setting aesthetic that the Rage 2 marketing campaign is going for has been established for decades.

Looks cool. I think the thing that gets me though is just how bright it is. If it was a darker pink, it would probs be fine, but the pink in the trailer is WAY to bright for the rest of whats going on.

All I smell is bullshit. It means nothing with no context. Literally thought nothing of it until you mentioned it.
So why are you wondering, more importantly, what are you thinking it might mean?

I don't really know what it means. Which is why I said, "Makes you wonder what they're doing." It's an open statement.

The better question is, why are you singling me out for this question? Other people in this thread/comments have said the same as myself, as I pointed out, and yet you seem to only be interested in coming after me. I kinda think the bullshit you smell is you're own. :P

I would like to see the trailers thing keep your settings. I have to up it to 720 every time I go to a new vid. And turn the sound down. Its ok once and a while, but if you are trailer binging, its not the best thing.

Reason: Forgot to reply to Eva lol

never played rage 1 but I was under the impression that it was not a good game

It definitely wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, but it wasn't memorable to me either, just kinda bland more than anything else. Not an IP I'd pick for a sequel over starting fresh (which they seem to be doing here anyway, I suppose) or putting resources into a more successful IP.

I have been playing the first game recently, I found it pretty boring sauce (probably spoilt after playing the recent iterations of Doom and Wolfenstein, Shadow Warrior etc and given this game was released many years ago now).

That said after seeing that gameplay trailer I am looking forward to the new game with hopefully more fun kinetic gunplay with rage's world as a background for it.

Doom was awesome, I went back and tried to play wolfenstein after it as I never played it and found it pretty slow going. I tried the original Rage yonks ago and it felt arse even then, boring and I died when I tried to jump over a crate and got flung sideways off an edge to my death...

With ID involved in this one I'm hoping some new doom has rubbed off onto it as that was super solid and had some downright fantastic gunplay going on.

I was confused why everybody here is calling the trailer bad, then I realised that it's not the same as the gameplay trailer I saw earlier today. The bold pink is an interesting choice, and I could see it working. The gameplay one looks totally fine to me, and enough for me to keep my eye on this. Seems they've picked up a bunch of the action from Doom; hopefully it translates ok into a more open area.
As always, waiting to see more of what it's like hands-on before making judgment.
